"The Mouse Catchers" is a porcelain sculpture created by the Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory, a prominent Italian porcelain factory that flourished in the 18th century. The sculpture depicts three figures engaged in a comical scene of mouse-catching, with one figure holding a broom and another wielding a trap. The work, crafted in the Rococo style, showcases the artistry of the Capodimonte Manufactory and is a testament to their skill in depicting everyday scenes with humor and elegance. The piece is currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
